  2. Ornstein–Zernike equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ornstein–Zernike_equation

    The OZ equation has practical importance as a foundation for approximations for computing the pair correlation function of molecules or ions in liquids, or of colloidal particles. The pair correlation function is related via Fourier transform to the static structure factor , which can be determined experimentally using X-ray diffraction or ...

  5. Hypernetted-chain equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypernetted-chain_equation

    In statistical mechanics the hypernetted-chain equation is a closure relation to solve the Ornstein–Zernike equation which relates the direct correlation function to the total correlation function. It is commonly used in fluid theory to obtain e.g. expressions for the radial distribution function .

  6. Percus–Yevick approximation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percus–Yevick_approximation

    In statistical mechanics the Percus–Yevick approximation [1] is a closure relation to solve the Ornstein–Zernike equation. It is also referred to as the Percus–Yevick equation. It is commonly used in fluid theory to obtain e.g. expressions for the radial distribution function. The approximation is named after Jerome K. Percus and George J ...

  7. Diffusion process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffusion_process

    In probability theory and statistics, diffusion processes are a class of continuous-time Markov process with almost surely continuous sample paths. Diffusion process is stochastic in nature and hence is used to model many real-life stochastic systems.

  8. Frits Zernike - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frits_Zernike

    In 1914, Zernike and Leonard Ornstein were jointly responsible for the derivation of the Ornstein–Zernike equation in critical-point theory. In 1915, he became lector in theoretical mechanics and mathematical physics at the same university and in 1920 he was promoted to professor of mathematical physics. [4]
